Reply of Mary C. Thorne of Selma (Green Plain), Ohio To The U. G. R. R. Circular,
Selma, Ohio, March 3, 1892.
Prof. Siebert, Dear Friend:
Your letter of March 1st was received. My husband desires me to write in answer.
The time when the Underground Railroad was in active operation and the oft occurring incidents , wiich touched in so marked a degree the tenderest sympathies of those who really believed that "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" is the natural inheritance of man, is long passedi
My husband was born and brought up in this part of the country, ^/"^s born and brought up not far from Richmond, Ind. The early settlers in and around Richmond were many of them Friends. Tdu are probably aware that they wer the firsst religious body to see, in something of its/ fullness, the curse of slavery, and were thus induced to-, clear their own skirts from that sin. Many of those early settlers in and around Richmond were from the South, mostly from North Carolina. They left their native land on ac¬ count of slavei^y. They did not wish their children to be educated under its influence. My grandparents, on Indth sides
